Active AUR malicious packages incident
https://archlinux.org/news/active-aur-malicious-packages-incident/
After a long discussion with @aelin today I got thinking about how much I've seen many of the TCs (and myself!) in #postmarketOS change, improve, and develop (both humanly and technically) through the last 3 years since we started expanding the maintainer base. It is incredibly fulfilling to see people making mistakes and learning and improving. We all mess up, we all have our incompatibilities, but it just feels good to be part of this team
In less than two weeks I'll be joining Night of the refugees in the Netherlands to walk 50 kilometers to raise money for refugees!

the cops who have heard me chirp my bike airtag in his shed:
We are considering dropping armhf (specifically armv6, not armv7) from postmarketOS edge, since we barely have any devices that make use of this architecture among other reasons. Please read the full issue for details.
If this impacts you, let us know!

I cannot relate. IPv6 has been on in my home network since β2010 and I canβt even remember the last time I encountered an IPv6-related bug.
But I guess statements like this is what Jeff means when he says β*Cosplaying* as a sysadminβ?
Because if you throw your hands in the air over IPv6 (in 2026!), youβre definitely not a sysadmin I would want to work with.
You need to be able to trust a screen reader the way you trust your eyes.
A lot of people on Android right now are shipping software that makes that impossible, and calling it accessibility.

Heads up for edge users: upgrading phosh may result in a conflict with gnome-settings-daemon-mobile. See the edge blog post for a workaround and related issue where we are working on a fix.

A brand new Windows CE emulator, can run Windows CE on modern Windows with emulated ARM, up to 4K resolution, etc. I was very excited.
And then I saw Claude listed as a contributor.
And then I saw this at the bottom:
100% generated by Claude via Claude Code β no human-written code. Not production-grade.
Fuck you for getting my hopes up. Fuck this timeline. Fuck destroying the planet because you're too fucking lazy to write real code. I'm so sick of all of this shit.
Heads up @mobian users on qcom devices : 6.18 is now the default kernel for the staging section of the repository (change affects devices using sdm845, sm6350, sdm670, sc7280 kernels).
This change would be soon-ish migrated to testing/forky and eventually to trixie.
This is your usual reminder that you're your own device's sysadmin, then
1. keep an eye on what apt proposes to be added/removed/upgraded
2. backup your valuable data
3. let us know if we broke anything ;) -> https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/Developing#Report_bugs
